Elections 101 

Date:  Wed., Oct. 23, 2024
Time:  3:00-4:00 PM

With the General Election this fall, voting is in the forefront of many people’s minds.  Do you know where to access nonpartisan information about candidates and ballot issues?  Do you know where to find your ballot issues prior to election day?  How do we know that our elections are safe and secure?  Why do we have an electoral college and how does it work? 

Many people are looking for the answer to these questions, so you are not alone!  This one-hour session will answer these questions and more during our live Zoom panel event, Public Affairs Talks! Elections 101.  Experts will help explore and explain these questions and take audience questions as time allows.  

Guest speakers include:

  • Shane Schoeller, County Clerk for Greene County, MO
  • Dr. Suzanne Walker-Pacheco, MSU Professor of Anthropology and Faculty Coordinator for Paws to the Polls and
  • Dr. Kevin M. Pybas, MSU Associate Professor of Political Science. 

This event is free and open to everyone. No registration is required.   

Sponsored by the MSU Office of Public Affairs Support
